Default Any differences between 2008 and 2009 OEM catbacks?

I purchased my 09 C6 with a Corsa Sport catback and it sounded awesome!! Since then, i have added Kooks longtubes, off-road x-pipe, and an A&A kit. Now it is a little too loud for my taste. I have a OEM catback from a 2008 in my garage and was wondering if it will fit on my 2009. I know some of the aftermarket systems changed between 2008 and 2009 but am unsure of the stock stuff.

Thanks in advance!!
Kevin

Aftermarket changed because stock changed. I'm not 100% sure of the changes, but I believe the length of the intermediate pipe is different (therefore muffler assemblies too), and the intermediate pipe rear connection is wider than before. Since you have the 2008 muffler assemblies laying around, a quick measurement job can answer your question with certainty . But I're read a million times it won't fit. Good luck.
